Besides, doesn't PU have a Classic mode where there's no Time and Oil Man?
Key word is also Re-make. AKA they are making Megaman X1 and Megaman 1 over again, for the modern era. Anything that was not there before is only NEW information, meant to expand the existing story. EG: Day of Sigma and Boss Dialogue.
PU itself though, aside from the retroactive inclusion of Time and Oil man, does not change anything, instead, both the JP and US versions stick to the JP story. Which means, that since this is the new Megaman 1, Megaman 1 now has the correct backstory. With 2 more bosses thrown in by Inafune. And it only adds information that expands on Protoman. Nothing contradictory.
I dont understand why people want to PRESERVE a US continuity, when it is full of horible changes that even Capcom has been trying to forget, erase, and fix. (like, yknow, PU being translated with the correct story.) Otherwise, PU would have been translated with the original story simply for the sake of "US continuity".
Now. You said: "Just because THEY [Capcom] don't [preserve US continuity] doesn't mean WE can't"
thats the thing, According to you, No matter what branch, Capcom is capcom, and US capcom has just as much of a say in the story and continuity as CoJ does. Well, if THEY are not preserving a US continuity, then by your logic, that should be the end of that, there is no US continuity because CoA doesnt want a "US continuity". So basically you are going against what you yourself said on CoA's power over Megaman. So even though they have the right to change and make a new continuity, if they dont want to preserve that continuity, then too bad, it is still the US continuity?
Also, "...doesnt mean WE cant"
so its just pure fanwank then. CoJ doesnt care for a US continuity with the localization blunders, and CoA doesnt either. Only you, the fans are for some reason, intent on having two continuities.
You can document all the continuities you want, but if capcom is NOT preserving separate continuities, then there ARE NONE. Only one whole, like Zan said- with inconsistencies in the US translation. (and the German X1 booklet)
The Sonia Belmont deal is hardly relevant to this. her WHOLE GAME was considered not part of IGA's storyline. The game itself still stands alone however, as a Gaiden, a what if- its OWn storyline, where Alucard was Trevor's father.
Much how like Lords of Shadow is not part of IGA's storyline either, even though it takes place even before Lament of innocence. Its a standalone story.
